One Monday morning, Horace Norton finds that a mouse has made a house in his hat. 🎩 What will Mr Norton do when, as the week progresses, the animals take over his bathroom, his bed - and even HIS BEARD?! Mr Norton's New Hat by @huwlewisjones.bsky.social and Corey Egbert is coming this March!

This year’s competition is judged by illustrator, author and character designer @dapsdraws.bsky.social; @louiestowell.bsky.social, author of the magical Loki; Pari Thomson, author of the New York Times bestselling Greenwild series; and @huwlewisjones.bsky.social, who grew up in Guernsey.

Talking books at the British Museum last night. From Iceberg to Archive: Exploring Research and Storytelling…the art of discovery and adventure…aka sketchbooks and penguins…

Up to London to give a talk last night at the British Museum. ⭐️🎉📚

Massive away win for the little fella.

I do like a map… #kidlit #kidlituk #clivepenguin #wheresclivepenguin 🐧🧡

Welcome to the Anthropocene.

Friday. Antarctica. 1950s

Thursday. A story begins…

Wednesday. A glimpse into the archives of Tony Foster, artist explorer.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

Took my students on an edgelands field-trip today, following running water against its flow, from city centre to the springs where it rises. The social lives of water; river as agent, presence, organiser. Cold, crisp winter light. As the day died, we found this strange sign. Backwards in two senses.

Tuesday. Another nice iceberg.

Nog totally unimpressed with today’s research. B is for bored 😆🐕

Monday. Love this. Worth remembering… @nikitagill.bsky.social 👌🏻⭐️

Sunday sunshine. Bluesky birds and a beer or two. One of the very good days. #Seabirds #SuperSeabirdSunday #KingPenguins #MacquarieIsland

Saturday. Antarctica. Ginger nuts. Yes, explorers love biscuits.

One Friday. Many penguins… #RoyalPenguins #Macquarie

Oh là là! Clive penguin now speaks French! 😆🙌🏻🇫🇷 . . . . #clivepenguin #penguins #childrensbooks #kidlituk #readingforfun #kidlit #childrensliterature

Happy Wednesday. One from the archive. Iceland we love you. 💙🇮🇸

Tree.fm allows you to listen to a random forest. This is beautiful.

Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise. I see you #kidlit. 💙❤️

Welcome @martinrhartley.bsky.social the best expedition photographer in the business. And a mate on a few adventures in books too. Good man yourself. 🙌🏻❄️

Tuesday. Here’s your morning iceberg.

A few days away from Twitter feels like…

Busy day editing today. I rewrote my name four times and deleted a paragraph.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

One Monday morning. Breathe deep. @bsky.app

Aye aye! ❄️🐧⭐️ that’s a super selection. Clive in great company. @booksfortopics.bsky.social

One from the archives. A very good day more than a decade ago. Beautiful Southern Royal Albatross, nesting among the tussocks on Mount Honey. Campbell Island. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday (on Bluesky!) where we ask you to share videos, photos & artwork of seabirds to brighten up timelines. It has to be Puffins to start the day… #SuperSeabirdSunday

Ok bluesky crew, do you folks like dogs? This is Noggin and he’s pleased to meet you. He’s a very good boy. And he’ll be your friend always, if you have biscuits.

Morning! Happily walking over to @bsky.app be like…

Looking for some nice intro blue sky snaps, you know, and found this on my phone. The first I took in Antarctica. Bow rope nicely cheesed. Sea ice. Snow falling. And a little Peppa pig lookout, for my daughter back home.

Time to jump. Bye bye blue bird. X and hello happy bluesky crew. So, anyone out there like penguins?

Hello bluesky. Mostly kids books and penguins these days.
